Osborne Brothers - Big Spike Hammer lyrics

Can't you hear the ripple on my big spike hammer

Lord, it's bustin' my side

I've done all I can do to keep that woman

Still she's not satisfied.

Hey, hey, Delta May

Why do you treat me this-a-way

Hey, hey, Delta May

I'll get even some day.

I'm the best hammer swinger

In this big section game

Big Bill Johnson is my name

Lord the hammer that I swing

For a dollar and a half a day

It's all for my Delta May.

Hey, hey, Delta May

Why do you treat me this-a-way

Hey, hey, Delta May

I'll get even some day.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I've been lots of places, not much I ain't done

There's still lotta things I'd like to see

Beats that hammer that I swing or the woman I love

One's gonna be the death of me.

Hey, hey, Delta May

Why do you treat me this-a-way

Hey, hey, Delta May

I'll get even some day.

Big spike hammer, big spike hammer...
